One of the goals of the Nashville Prayer Summit was "to grow in the life-changing grace of God." I can say that was an experience, as well as discovering how to organize our own initiatives locally for prayer that changes things.

Guests led a group of Nazarene Pastors and leaders in the experience of a journey through new avenues of prayer and renewal, and the results were heartwarming. We are tame in our responses, unlike the revival experience going on in Lakeland, FL, but that is no reduction in the magnitude of results. Sometimes the Lord chooses to speak and move in quietness, and humbly, gently speaks to the hearts of those in prayer. It was refreshing to me to see this movement.

The only real change in the world comes through prayer, and we she be doing more of it. In our comfort and ease, prayer legs have to be strengthened if the our part of the world is going to change. Prayer is the process through which the power for ministry takes place. When prayer becomes the congregations way of life, the body life of the church gets stronger.

The Apostle Paul wrote in Phil 3:10 "I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death..." Prayer is a corporate, congregation, everyone event. "The fellowship of sharing in His sufferings..." hit me pretty hard when I understood that, I alone, as Pastor am not the only prayer in our midst, but if we are going to become like Him, that would be in prayer.

There is more to share on this. In fact, the month of June will be a walk through this discipline of faith in our morning messages. So, come in and bring your Bible if you dare and discover why revivals happen, why healing happen, why decisions to follow Christ are made at altars of prayer. The Kingdom of God is usher in when the Church becomes a House of Prayer.

We will be praying for you, when you write in, so write us. We are committed to pray and to help you grow in your faith as you do as well.
